Both composite resins have been widely produced via various modifications of their composition. Objectives: To evaluate the diametral tensile strength of composite resins with microhybrid and nanohybrid fillers. Methods: In this experimental laboratory study, microhybrid (DenFilTM) and nanohybrid (DenFilTM N) composite resins were shaped into 10 specimens each in cylindrical molds (6 mm diameter × 3 mm height) by the bulk-fill technique, and the upper layer was flattened using mylar strips and then polymerized using a light-curing unit for 20 s. Then, composite resin samples were immersed in cell culture plates filled with 2.5 mL of artificial saliva in a 37°C incubator for 24 h. Dimensions of the soaked specimens were examined using a digital caliper and tested using a universal testing machine. Results: The diametral tensile strength values for microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins were 41.67 MPa and 45.42 MPa, respectively. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the diametral tensile strength of microhybrid and nanohybrid.}, issn = {2621-6175}, pages = {41--46}, doi = {10.32793/jida.v4i1.505}, url = {http://jurnal.pdgi.or.id/index.php/jida/article/view/505} }
